Does anyone know a dutch jtag service for galaxy 2?
ASUS PadFone 2 QHSUSB_DLOAD error
It's an old thread but right now I need a JTAG Service for ASUS Padfone 2 (3 months of use) and nobody does it. Damn!
My warranty was voided since I changed the LCD cuz I broke it. ASUS Brasil didn't give me handwork support then I did it by myself.

How much does he charge to bring a S3 back from the dead?
hello to all friends. I have a note with 2 imei but generic baseband correct. I accidentally deleted the efs folder but without backup. Now there is no network signal and I can not call or send text messages. I've tried all the methods described on each web forum but nothing. If I delete the folder is in factory mode. Three days I have no phone and I want to avoid back for assistance. Please help! Even in payment methods but please HELP
Why are you crying now. No one but Samsung can help you.

Why would you delete the EFS folder? That's like stripping your phone off of its identity. Try installing stock rom through Odin it's a long shot but worth a try otherwise your gonna have to make new friends at the Samsung service center.

Sorry but I agree with all the above posts. Your pretty much screwed! You should at least try to install a stock rom via Odin or Mobile Odin. This could fix your issue but most probably not.You can inquire at your local cell phone repair store but this could be pricey.No sense asking others for a copy of their EFS. Its kinda like asking someone for their social security number. Best of luck
Does others efs backup work?
I know several people in Korea and I can probably get them to send you an efs backup given you're not going to use it in the same country.

It might work but chances are pretty slim and not without doing some modifications to the efs backup you plan.to send the OP. It's gonna require a lot of reading and time spent on Google especially for a newbie.

No.
If you restore else's efs then you both would be liable to jail.
Because imei is strictly unique.
If two phones with same imei connect to network then it would disable both your phones.
Plus advanced legal steps could be taken against you.
Get to a service center it's still not late.

But if he made a schedule with his friend, with exact hours, when they would use their phones, it will be all legal. Only one phone turned on at a time :laugh:
No.

Says who? Just because you bought a kirf phone that shares the same imei with lets say a thousand other kirf phones doesn't mean you're liable to imprisonment, and its no different in this case. The most that could ever happen is that the imei would get blocked by the network if used on the same network at the same time. And network providers don't generally sit and monitor who's using the same imei unless a large number of the phones connected are using the same imei hence a lot of kirf phones don't work on certain networks. If the guy wants to tinker with his phone let him be, just don't try scare him off with false info.

If we both have the same phone and I get a call it could get redirected to any of us.
Network providers use imei to identify us.
We use mobile nos.
If two phones would pop up with same imei. They instantly block both because they don't know which it has to be passed on to.
The server would be configured to block itself.

What about the sim card? they have different ones.
Sorry but I never knew sim cards had imei. They have a sim id or something.

I didn't mean they had IMEI, but that they were the first line of identification: the sms or call comes to your sim and not to your IMEI
Try it.
Both would be blocked within a day I guarantee.

I don't know if you have solved your problem already but i'll still reply to give an idea for people having the same problem who might read this from now on. I think your problem might be fixed by using kies software. Kies software has an option to revert the machine to factory settings with latest firmware installed. It's in kies tools menu. Must be something like "initialize and install latest firmware". I use kies on my native language which is not english so i can't be sure for the right translation of the menu item. It asks you device model no which is GT_N7100 in our case. And then asks for S/N which can be found on the backside of the device under the battery. After you type all these infos it downloads the spesific software necessary to get your device to factory defaults and installs the latest firmware up to date. I think that would also repair your EFS files though i'm not sure. Why would they ask for your device spesific S/N other wise ?
once upon a time i knew a man who using cloned (taken from other phone) imei and he using that phone about 2 years. And nobody disturb him...
Exactly he was doing it illegal. But two of phones had same imei and two of phones were working at the same time (via different sims and phone numbers)
Please dont write here for just being writer. Alwasy write things just when you sure.

Transferring efs from one device to another is against XDA rules and illegal. Send the device in for repair.
Hello
5 month Note 2 user that had almost no complaints till early april where my phone started lagging, restarting every few hours(it did restart once every 2-3 days since they day i bought it) and touch screen not being responsive. Result was the problem becoming worse and me having to search for it and finding out about SDS. I checked my phone through EMMC and it says my chip is insane... as soon as I saw that I tried backing everything up but as it turned out, it was too late..I've lost all my game data (I've managed to copy a few games but its a few stages back..for example my subway surfers save is like 2-3 months back...), i've lost ALL of my contacts and my smscontact backup says it has no contacts on the backupfile...
regardless, I sent it to the local Samsung retail and they kept it for a week, got it back today, same thing happening...They told me they found humidity + errors on my phone and they had to clear/wipe it out completely. Its been like 3-4 hours since i got it and it already got stuck at a black home screen error + unable to swap applications and once on a non-responsive touch screen. I contacted the Samsung retailer and he told me that it could be an error from my SD card. I highly doubt that, am using a san disk 32gb ultra speed and I only have movies on it actually so...
Now my 'questions'...What can I do? Rooting it can fix it? Or will it void my warranty completely? If I root and it breaks again can I unroot and send it to have it fixed? And if they cant fix it, do they replace my phone with another one? Like a new note 2 or a new samsung phone?
Thanks
Ps: already posted this on sprint forums by mistake and it was suggested to me to try removing my sd card..no difference

well it is what people say "symptoms of the sudden death" so probably and all says that( 5 months, strange behaviour. .) if they dont fix you can talk to them that probably it is SDS if not you'll have to wait until the phone dies or send lots of times (like a guy who said that here in xda) and they probably replace the motherboard. theres nothing at the moment to do if it have been affected by the corrupted data but you can update to the latest firmware which is suposed to have the fix
hope I answered your question

Was the 5 months too late for it to take effect?i already called them and they told me that they know nothing about the SDS.. they said they can only change my phones internal/motherboard (as they said "just the plaque not ur device"
Latest update is 4.1.2? Thats what i have.. they gave me the option of buying another phone..should i? Am afraid of getting another sds affected note

well the problem is that if the phone send some corrupted data to the chip when you were at 4.1.1 there's nothing to do.
The repair centre "doesn't know about it" because if they do know they'll have to asume that problem and they will lose money. The correct procediment is to change de motherboard however sometimes they just put an old one with the insane chip again. If you really want this phone and I assume that you do like it, when they replace and send it back update to 4.1.2 ASAP therefore they usually update before sending back.

They are already losing money when they fix my phone cause of full warranty.. i loved the phone but am disappointed right now and with the possibility of changing phones i dont mind..cause all in all it has its downsides..ie too big to carry, takes a looong time to charge and regardless ive already lost all my data so its already like i got a new phone..
How can i know if they changed my motherboard?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
You should have a new imei if they changed mb i think.
I bought note because of the screen,dont mind using it with both hands thats the price you have to pay if you want that commodity of big display.
And its charging like every phone,maybe a little longer but instead you have great battery life.

How can i test if my imei is a new one and not from a previous user?
I did buy it too but any below 1.5A charger charges too slowly..and the size does matter for me cause am currently serving the army and its harder for me to handle...

I use original charger at home and 2.1a car charger and it charges really fast.
You should maybe check out xperia z,it has ip57 certificate,it is lot tougher than note and a bit smaller.

Nobody loses money but Samsung. Your local samsung service center is not Samsung company. They are third companies that have an agreement with Samsung to fix samsung phones officially in your country.
They lose money only if they replace a motherboard that is already working or not covered under warranty (user faults).
Once I talked(personally) to one of Samsung services in my country, they said mostly they are not able to understand these new generation smartphones. Most of the time all they do is just replacing motherboards, they said
My suggestion to you, print several sudden death syndrome reported web pages and show them or email them if you can. Samsung is replacing bricked motherboards with no question asked (even rooted ones).

I find it very strange, especially since these issues do not seem related to eMMC commands. Did you ever try using the phone without the sd card to eliminate the possibility?

Hello everyone.
I've had my Note II since October when it was released and sold on Amazon.com. I got a French phone
Anyways, I've rooted it and installed custom ROM on it (HD Rom).
After a phone call yesterday, we put the phone on the table and it just won't boot at all. I can't even get it to boot to the logo screen. I've called Samsung US and they won't honor this "French" phone since the IMEI is not in their system, so be careful next time you buy an unlocked phone that's not sold primarily for US customers.
The issue I am having now is that I don't know what to do. I've read and research the forums but I am really lost. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is the good news: I buy everything from Amazon and they're going to refund me but maybe a partial refund but the phone is full of personal stuff. I want to at least get it back to work so I don't have to return it to them. My privacy is more important than the refund.
Please help!
Thank you

Yes. I won't boot at all even to the N7100 screen.
Try joining the n7100 sds repair group. Maybe it's just a emmc corrupt which should be repairable with jtag as well.
Other than that if it can't boot even to n7100 screen then I could hardly think I of any way to extract the data.

Hi. My note 2 just suddenly died and it's out of warranty. Sent it to the service Centre and they quoted me $350 to replace the mobo of my phone. in think it's too much for such an old phone. So I'm wondering if there's anyone in here who knows where I can buy a new logic board that will work for wind mobile. Thanks so much in advance.
